Ziggy Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 While doing some FairStars keygens I stumbled across a freeware app "FairStars CD Ripper" which is protected by ASProtect 2. Strangely the other FairStars shareware apps are not protected and easy to keygen. Beats me why a shareware house would do that. Anyone else have some ideas? Z [EDIT] Maybe they are making the point that ASPRotect is so useless the app might as well be freeware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiterat Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 hmm all I can think is 1 of 2 options: 1. It has some miracle never before used technique 2. They stole some code and thought that aspr would cover it up - which it doesnt. Past that maybe its just a random quirk of life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zako Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 my vote2. They stole some code and thought that aspr would cover it upSeen shareware/freeware apps using cracked shareware components more than once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vepergen Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Author maybe ask himself, why not to protect freeware app with Asprotect ? He can have thousands of reasons. That someone stole his code can be one of reasons, and maybe he just had bad dreams. And his reaction was to use Asprotect .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Rogers Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Possibly they also think ASProtect is a safe and system compatible packer rather than be using it as a protector...Ted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cektop Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 You'd be surprised what it might be. A lot of people decide to do this in order to have automatic order system so that they dont have to generate keys manually. As far as I remember, ASProtect asks for more $$$ if you want code generation module and they didnt think it's worth it. That's why Armadillo remained popular even through years that it wasnt hard to beat at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
